The justice of hanging Mrs. Druse and
failing to hang Unger who also killed
and mutilated his victim, is questioned
by various writers. The difference be
tween the two cases was that the jury in
one case found the crime to be murder in
the first degree. In the other they be
lieved Ungers story that he struck his
victim in hot blood, and found him guilty
only in the second degree. SO he gets of
with imprisonment for llfe.N But he may
often wish he had been hung before he is
through with it.

Department Commander Blodgett's or
der to the Grand Army posts relating TO Il
monument for Gen. Stannard, is all right
in spirit and purpose but little mix
ed' in some of its statements of facts.
Gen. Early when Harper's Ferry was sur
rendered, was commanding "A brigade in
Ewells division. His brigade, we think,
did not move into Harper's Ferry, and we
are quite sure that Col Stannard did not
receive any orders from Gen, Early. OH
GERS of the 9th Vermont who would be
likely TO know if any order to trail arms
and c)lors was received from any rebel
general, never heard Of any such order
nor of any such reply on Sttnnard's part
Gen. Stannard did not take his advanced
position at Gettysburg contrary to posi-
| tive ordersn He moved out against Pick
ctt- flank iCithOW orders but that il
quite "A different thing. Stannard had 4
high idea of military discipline and au
thority; and we venture to say that ht
never disobeyed positive orders from his
superiors in command. We trust the post,
will respond literally to Commander
Blodgett's appeal. 1t is most fitting thai
Gen. Stannard's comrades should take
handsome part in the erection of monu
meut to his memory.

gravely shaking hands with each, while
submitting to the caresses showered

which u dancing master might envy.
Even the gamin are famous for polite
ness, and tine ragged beggar will ne
knowledge your gift with the bow OF

The quaint remarks OF some OF these
little ones are exceedingly amusing.
Fer example, my little friend tagged 81,
whose ponderous name is nearly as

with hand outstretched for the Gus

one day, the child turned to me with
the most innocent expression on her
sweet face, and piped forth; Jesus,

ence in the ejaculation. In moments of
sudden fright or distress the merest
infant will cross himself and murmur,

Luck Of Three Wcll-known Gamblers GfEhiragO
Town.
Gambling ilourishes in Chicago us it
never llourished before. Now and then
we hear OF raid on Il poker game,
negro craps came, or q Chinese bung
loo joint, but the big faro banks, with
their incidental convcuicnceS for roul-
cite, chuckalucIl, stud p0!serand short
cards are allowed to run along undis-
turbed by the police. Some rather
brisk adventures are recorded in con
nectlon with the experiences OF the
great throng who seek the bubble for
tune even ut the tigers Jaws. Into 81
Clark street resort, n day or two
ago, came old Dywer Smith, a grizzled
veteran OF the field of the cloth ofg"een,
who is part proprietor OF q faro bank
on WestNladison Smith had roll of
$500, the joint property OF himself
and partner, and he had come over
the river to "makc n play Having
flashed his bundle aud announced his
intention, Smith requested that the
table he cleared and himself lett to en-
ter the jungle singlc-handed and alone.
This WIS done and he sat down with
casekeeper and tab, and tile duel began.
Smith, who is a cool daring, desperate
player, after three hours got up from
the table with IL little over 5000 of
the banks money. His next move
was to 90 back to his own place and
report the results to his partner-Ha-
gan by name.
Now" said Smith, chow shall we
divide the stuff"
why divide it at ALP said Hagan
whats the matter with playing sew
Ell up Tor the whole business?'
And this is what they did--old
sledge best three games out OF five
games. Dwyer Smith lost three
straight games, and inside Of ten min
utes he had not II dollar to show for
his big play, while Hagan WAS $4,000
richer. Hagan took the first train for
New Orleans, and is now having agor-
geous winter picnic.
An odd episode occurred recently,
in which u 'sliin'; gambler named
Sanders made II remarkable plunge.
He had just finished q modest meal in
Boyle's chop house, and had paid his
last nickel to the cashier, when he no.
tlceu u counterfeit silver dollar which
had deem taken in during the day.
"What's that dollar doing there, all
by itself?'' he asked.
"Cause it's counterfeit" said the
cashier.
Sanders asked for and obtained the
worthless coin, and with il steered
straight for the nearest faro bank.
He put it on the ace tray, and those
cards won four times for him. The
dealer had failed to notice that the
dollar was bogus, and in very short
time Sanders cashed in S121 and quit
playing. For the odd dollar hereceiv-
ed back the identical coin with which
he had started to play. With singu-
lar fatuity he refused to receive this
particular piece OF money because it
was counterfeit. The result was to
draw attention to the fact that he
had won 500 without risLing q cent,
and the irate dealer and his assistants
forthwith jumped on the young man
and took every penny away from him,
not even letting him get away with the
original counterfeit dollar.
